Dr. Virginia Clark, LCSW

Dr. Virginia Clark helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, and complex life changes. She works with concerns that include relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and caregiving strain. Dr. Clark is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of practice experience and offers practical, down-to-earth support.

Her approach is straightforward and problem-focused. Sessions aim to identify what feels most urgent and build small, usable skills. She blends strategies from several approaches to match what each person needs in the moment. That can mean learning new behavior tools, practicing emotional skills, or working through painful memories at a steady pace.

Dr. Clark draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and patterns that repeat across time. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy approaches are used when emotion regulation and closeness are central concerns.

Her style is practical and experienced. She focuses on clear goals, short-term coping strategies, and slower exploration when that helps. Many people come to her for help with addiction recovery, chronic illness stress, caregiver burnout, or major life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful when life changes, chronic illness, or ongoing stress make it hard to act on what matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. It often uses homework and simple experiments to test new ways of coping.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, and can help when intimacy, trust, or repeated relationship problems are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick and adapt methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions may mix short-term skills work with deeper exploration over time.

Confirm the session formats available before scheduling, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a quiet spot or during a break. It also lets people use tools like worksheets, guided exercises, and between-session coaching to practice skills between meetings.
